End of Life Care!

From childhood to young age, from young age to mid age, from mid age to old age all the time we care about our life. But have we ever thought of what about after when we become too old and even we can not move from our own, can't eat from our own, can not speak much then who will be caring us and how?

And even if in that situation we leave your body, what will be the next and which form of body you will get, are you sure to get human form of body?

This is why you should be very careful from our childhood to maintain your consciousness to remember Krishna as Lord Krishna says in Bhagwad Gita 8.5

अन्तकाले च मामेव स्मरन्मुक्त्वा कलेवरम् |

य: प्रयाति स मद्भावं याति नास्त्यत्र संशय: || 8.5|| 

And whoever, at the end of his life, quits his body remembering Me alone at once attains My nature. Of this there is no doubt.

But it is not so easy to remember Krishna at the time of death, when we are not aware of how much pain we are going to suffer, and in what condition we will be, in what mood people will come to us?

For that Srila Prabhupada used to encourage people to chant holy names of Lord and meditate on His forms, Pastimes etc. so at last we can keep Krishna in our mind while leaving the body.

Our beloved H.H.Giriraj Mahraj great disciple of Srila Prabhupada came to the idea of Bhaktivedanta Hospice situated in Vrindavan where people can go and depart peaceful from there in mode of Krishna Consciousness.

His ultimate goal is to people can maintain their consciousness while leaving their body, and make sure they go home go back to Godhead.

Finally our life is preparation and death is our final examination.



Hare Krishna!

Laxmana - The Hidden Hero of Ramayana

In our previous post we have already mentioned Ramayna is not an ordinary story but a complete learning lesson from each & every characters. Laxmana is one of the character of Ramayana, who was completely hide himself to glorify from others, and away from honor and dishonor. Laxmana teaches us how to maintain character, competency, selfless service, and equal in both the situation either you are praised or you are abused. If you have fixed your aim, then there is no question of disturbance what people say to you. But when we get into the deep of Ramayana and see the value of Laxmana, We see he was the hero after Lord Rama in the whole story. Laxmana represents  who carry out Laxmi with him and serve Lord Rama by his good will. Laxmana always eager to serve Lord Rama, when Lord Rama was about to go for exile for fourteen years Laxmana immediately stood up & ready to go along with Lord Rama although he was not asked to go to exile. Laxmana took vow, he will not sleep for four...

Learning Lessons from Mother Sumitra

In this world mother and child relationship is above all the relations. The foremost responsibility of a mother is to place her child in a proper Krishna Consciousness environment by which he/she becomes pure devotee of the Lord. Often mothers blame for their children, they are not behaving well and they don't respect them at all but the reason behind this is how much we are doing for them. Being a parent means to sacrifice for children. In modern age mother has no time to care of her children and think they can give all kinds of facilities by just giving money. And when the child grows up and by the time he/she do not get the association of mother and teachings they become free to do what they want to do. Mother means to care for her children what they need and give love and teach them how to love and respect others. And if we think we just send our children to schools/colleges and they will be perfect in all so they cannot. Its the duty of the mother to give valuable time ...

TIT for TAT OR Tolerate That

Many of the times we go through situations where we get confused what to do now? According to our Vedic Scriptures we should keep three things in our mind and accordingly react or respond on situations. If you can change it: Situations comes in your life or brought by some people and you know if it is completely against our religious principle, then you must stand against it and try to change the situations. When Hauman Ji reached in Lanka and Lankini the guard of Lanka tried to stop Him and because it was against the religious principle as his own master kidnapped others wife, Hanuman Ji punched on her mouth by His left hand and move on. Same way if you have power and know things are going against Dharma, you should change the situations else you have to suffer sinful reactions of it. If you can not change it: Sometimes situations are completely against us and we are not even able to change it then that time we must accept the situation and try to tolerate it.  You don't believe...
